Under the plenary power, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has emended the spelling of the family-group name\ Charinidae Gray, 1849\ (Reptilia, Squamata, Serpentes) to remove homonymy with\ Charinidae Quintero, 1986\ (Arachnida, Amblypygi). The stem of the generic name\ Charina Gray, 1849\ has been emended to\ Charina- to give the family-group name\ Charinaidae\ for the former while the latter family-group name based on\ Charinus\ Simon\ in\ Raffray, Bolivar \&\ Simon, 1892\ remains unchanged. The Commission has also used its plenary power to emend the spelling of the family-group name\ Ungaliopheinae McDowell, 1987\ to\ Ungaliophiinae McDowell, 1987.
